APPROACHES TO TEACHING ENGLISH

Hello everyone :)

This WebQuest is about approaches to teaching English which is our main subject for this semester. This WebQuest will help you to access the necessary information from the various websites gathered by me. At the end of the semester, you will be evaluated from the application videos of yours, compositions you have written and the presentations you will present in the classroom in the last two weeks.

In this WebQuest, you will be able to find and understand the every step and explanation that you need. Also, you can do your own research if you need from various sources but please be careful about  specifying quotations. 

If you need, you can contact with me through e-mail in weekdays.

Don't stress, do your best, forget the rest ;)

This is a kind of task that you will continue to make for a whole semester. You don't need to hurry but need to work according to a plan. Every week, I will present you an approach in class. Before each course, you have to prepare for the subject.(You will be able to find necessary information and sources list from "process" section.) You are expected to participate in discussions and share your own ideas about the approaches in the courses. After each lesson, you are expected to write a composition that includes information from a variety of sources and your own thoughts with your own sentences.(You will send your compositions via e-mail.) You are also expected to shoot a video in which you apply the approach that I have presented in the last class. (You will share your videos via padlet.) In the last two weeks of the semester, you are expected to present your all works to your classmates in 20-25 minutes.

Briefly, you are expected to make your pre-readings, write compositions, shoot videos and at last, briefly present your presentations to your classmates.

1- Every week, I will present you an approach in class. Before each course, you have to prepare for the subject.(You can find necessary information and sources list down below.)

2- In order to share your videos, you need to create a Padlet account.

3- After each lesson, you need to shoot an application video about the recent approach and share it via Padlet. Make sure that your voice is audible and the image quality is good. Here is the link that you will share your videos: https://padlet.com/altinaygulnihan/xucru911j1j8

4- After each lesson, you are expected to write a composition that includes information from a variety of sources and your own thoughts with your own sentences.(You will send your compositions via e-mail ► altinaygulnihan@gmail.com ) 

How To Write A Whole Composition

The following is a general structure to follow for many kinds of writing. Adapt it to specialized assignments as appropriate.



I. Introduction

The introduction is intended to draw the reader into the body of material to follow. It should begin with a general statement or question, sometimes called the “thesis statement” or “thesis question,” followed by a quick narrowing down to the main theme to be developed in the body. Set the stage quickly, give appropriate background, then move right into a transition sentence that will set up the reader for the body.



II. Body (Argument)

The body of a written piece is where you elaborate, defend, and expand the thesis introduced in the introduction. The body should support your main contention with supporting evidence and possible objections. A good body presents both sides of a case, pro and con. As you make your case, save your best argument for last. When presenting contrary views, be sure to set forth the strongest arguments so you can avoid being charged with erecting a “straw man.” The body includes three components:

Elaboration: Spell out the details by defining, or by clarifying and adding relevant, pertinent information.

Illustration: Paint a verbal picture that helps make or clarify your point(s). Well illustrated pieces are easier to read and follow than abstract ones.

Argumentation: Give the reasons, justifications, and rationales for the position or view you have taken in the introduction. Draw inferences for the reader and explain the significance or assertions or claims being made.

When moving from one sub-point or argument to another, use connecting or transitional words and phrases that enable your reader to easily follow the flow of your thinking. The following is a partial list of logical connectors that you can use:

exceptions – but, alas, however, etc.

illustrations – for instance, for example, etc.

conclusions – thus, so, therefore, consequently, etc.

comparisons – similarly, by contrast, etc.

qualifications – yet, still, etc.

additions – moreover, furthermore, etc.

III. Conclusion

Make your final appeal to the reader, a finishing, all-encompassing statement that wraps up your presentation in a powerful or even dramatic fashion. Normally a single paragraph, brief and concise, will suffice. The purpose of the conclusion is to leave the reader with an idea or thought that captures the essence of the body while provoking further reflection and consideration.

5- In the last two weeks of the semester, you are expected to present your all works to your classmates in 20-25 minutes. You can make a PowerPoint presentation, etc. which includes all your work. It is up to your imagination :)
